It's a self-extracting zip download, portable by design. I have also checked myself and did not find any registry entries or files outside of its application directory.

It's the best I have found, but hasn't been updated in a while. It has a few problems:

- No third decimal place for stock prices
- I believe the CAGR is calculated incorrectly for stocks held for a short time
- The "price chg" column does not appear to be able to display negative values
- On my home machine, WinXP SP2, some columns have the 1000's truncated and the decimals are cut off, works fine on my work machine though, WinXP SP3
- Support is very slow, I posted the last bug four months ago and have had no response

No, it simply means that forget about saying "writes data to C:\TakeStock" but instead use "Application folderW when adding to the database.
I thought at first he meant forget about adding because it writes to the %APPDATA% folder, but then I understood.
